Abstract
There are two types of art in this 16-page pamphlet 8" x 11½" in size. Beginning on 1, there is a fable on every one or two pages, and every fable has at least one simple appropriate one-colored design. Among the better designs are those picturing OR (1) and the coachman with the fly on his nose (16). On each of four pages there is a full page colored illustration signed "J.G"; these are, then, certainly the work of J. Gouppy, as acknowledged on the cover. Each of these four colored pages combines different irregularly-shaped panels illustrating various fables. The first on 5, e.g., combines FC and TH. Further pages combine GA and WC (8, repeated on the back cover); WL and "The Horse and the Ass" (9); and OF, "The Dog and the Sheep," and LM (13). The front cover is in the same style. A pretty young woman with a flaring red skirt looks down to the right at her spilt pitcher of milk. The back cover lists this book as "Serie 860/10."
